If you do a web search you'll see reports of between 200,000 to 500,000
popular votes favoring Gore and of course an argument of what that

really
means.


Considering that an estimate 800K to 1.2M illegal aliens voted in the 2000
election, those numbers are dubious. And that's not to mention the several
states that had very quesionable vote totals...that all got lost in the
Florida flare-up.


C'mon, the USA Today election map at
http://mwhodges.home.att.net/usmap-large.gif clearly shows that the

country
OVERWHELMINGLY supported Bush. The fact that the big cities happen to

have
more dead voters just graphically illustrates who is GETTING the tax

money,
versus who is PAYING it.


Wasn't it LBJ that got more votes than there were live voters in his first
Senate run?


Not to mention colleges...like the one in Wisconsin where guys were voting
15, 20 time. One student bragged about casting 29 ballots...all right under
the noses of "impartial" voter boards.

Do you have a reference for those numbers? I would believe some, but that
is awfully large.

Well, then let's talk about the flawed voter roll purges that occured in
both Texas and Florida.

Or the shenanigans in Tennessee
http://www.alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=10589

Plenty of dirt to go around.

But .... the original assertion was that an overwhelming number of Americans
voted for Bush.
Simply visit http://www.fec.gov/pubrec/2000presgeresults.htm and look at the
tabular data, you'll see the results.
Consider the Nader votes anti-Bush and Buchanan anti-Gore, add up the other
candidates if you like in a similar fashion. Nowhere near overwhelming and
the results seem to slightly favor Gore.

I call it as I see it. I don't care HOW many brainless knee-jerk Democrat
voter-drones live in the highest-population-density-inner-city cesspools --
this geographic map of the election results tells the tale:

Jay,

I am genuinely interested, what data on this map supports your assertion?

Jay has apparently managed to convince himself that the extent of a
candidate's mandate is better measured by the number of *acres* that voted
for the candidate than by the number of *people* that voted for the
candidate. When he stays the "country" overwhelmingly supported Bush, he's
referring to the country's landmass rather than its population.

Actually, Jay's map does tell us a great deal about the vote.

Those areas that produce more than they consume and pay more in taxes than they
receive in federal funds voted for Bush and those that suck at the Federal teat
voted for Gore.

Big surprise.

A strikingly bold statement backed by vague generalities.

Yes, but not what he claims it tells us.

Yeah right. Seattle, New York, Boston, most of New England, and the coast
of California are notoriously unproductive areas. Why, the national economy
would scarcely notice if those places just disappeared.
